President’s Message:

The first DAGC meeting was in 1973 although I do not know where it took place or how many members attended it.

The first DAGC ‘virtual’ meeting took place on April 8th 2020 via Webex with 57 members joining in!!! We had a

few technical difficulties, lost a few connections, had an echo during Monika’s presentation but overall, it was a

super way to see each other again!

Here’s a quick recap of that meeting….Arlene Chang shared a lovely inspiration story followed by Monika’s

presentation about irrigation. It was extremely detailed but she explained all the data and details with her usual

flair and helpful insights.

I shared and presented the Nominations Slate for the 2020 – 2021 Board. You can see the list in this newsletter on

pages 6-7 where you will also find information regarding how to propose another member or yourself for any

position and how we will vote in May.

There was a reminder to everyone about mailing their membership renewals to Charlotte Arton which should all be

completed by now.

I presented a slide show of photos of your gardens that had been sent to me.

There was a surprise Artistic Arrangement made by Michele Snover with blooms from her and Rebecca Byrom’s

gardens. At the Board meeting, we had decided that the names of all the members with April birthdays would go in

a hat and at the virtual meeting I drew one out (witnessed by everyone at the meeting!). Deborah White was the

lucky recipient – a huge surprise for her!

As Monika’s presentation had had some glitches and some of you had missed it, Sharon Townsend offered to put it

on our website. Click on ‘Events’ on the left side and you will see it listed there. Monika also offered to answer any

questions about irrigation at a bonus meeting which we held by Webex on Thursday April 16th. It was a smaller

group so we had more opportunity to discuss other topics including powdery mildew on roses, correcting alkaline

soil for veggies and edible insects!

President’s message cont:

This is such a fabulous time of year for our gardens with everything blooming, budding, and suddenly growing like

crazy! It is one of the best places to be while everything around us has ground to a halt…..

The May Board and the May General Meetings will be ‘virtual’ again. Maybe you will have time to get familiar

with the new technology and be able to join in.

Please remember to send me a photo of your first rose bloom! I am going to present a slideshow of them at the

‘virtual’ meeting on May 14th.

Stay well - happy gardening!

Linda Scotting, President

Artistic Arrangement won by Deborah White:

Tours

We never know what life has in store for us and this truly has been a trying time for all of us gardening gals....not being able to tour the lovely gardens, go shopping for those annuals and perennials or meeting someone new in our garden club. These have really challenged us socially.

Not to worry, almost all of our nurseries are offering phone in orders and curbside pickup. Just call one of our sponsors...or a favorite of yours. I’ve ordered from Alden Lane and Armstrong with curbside pickup, it was fast, easy and simple. Annie’s Annuals is open for both foot traffic and catalogue business. In addition, Sloat’s is open with social distance shopping, there’s even an associate out front sanitizing all of the carts.

While this seems temporary, I think it might be in our near future to maintain these practices.

Lastly, if you would like to take a virtual tour of Monet’s Garden along with additional amazing gardens check out

www.foundation-monet.com or www.housebeautiful.com

Enjoy ladies! Stay healthy and take a little time to stop and smell the roses in your gardens.

Horticulture: Pantry Staples in the Garden

Do they work?

The internet is swimming in garden solutions using items that you already have at home. The problem is that different sources provide different information. Often, they contradict each other. So what really works and what is a pipe dream? Here are six pantry garden remedies that were hailed in one particular article. I have never used any of them. So I did some further research on the web to see if I could find any scientific backing, any sort of experimentation or practical use to support them. Please be aware I didn’t spend time scouring every resource out there! You may do your own research and find different, better information. The key to this is research! If you hear of a great gardening tip, investigate to see what others have already learned. Do you have some tips that you have used successfully, or tips you’ve tried that have flopped? Please share them with us! Cinnamon Powder – The claim: Cinnamon powder can do wonders when it comes to preventing fungal diseases, or that milky white growth on seedling stems. If you spot any fungal growth, immediately sprinkle the base of the stems with small amounts of cinnamon powder. Want to nip the issue in the bud—literally? Mix a bit of cinnamon powder with your starting mix to prevent the disease all together. Cinnamon Powder – My research: I found no scientific based research on the use of cinnamon in the garden. I did find several websites that recommended it as an antifungal treatment and as a pesticide. I found a site called gardenmyths.com that seems good. They explored using cinnamon for damping off and fungal issues: https://www.gardenmyths.com/cinnamon-stop-damping-off-seedlings/. I think this provides valuable information about the differences between real and fake cinnamon, and the value of real, Ceylon cinnamon. Kristin tried cinnamon to control ants once, it worked for a little while and then stopped working. But she may not have used the Ceylon cinnamon, which has the most effect. For any garden questions, diseases, pest questions and solutions, I recommend these University of CA sites: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/menu.homegarden.html and http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/ Coffee Grounds – The claim: Coffee grounds contain vital nutrients like magnesium, copper, potassium and phosphorus. The nitrogen, in particular, can act as a fertilizer. Take care not to simply dump used coffee grounds all over your garden bed (you can suffocate your plants this way). Instead, mix small amounts of grounds directly with soil to improve seed germination. Coffee Grounds – My research: There are a lot of opinions on the Internet about the pros and cons of using coffee grounds directly in your garden. The University of Oregon gives steps for how to use it in your soil and recommends it for composting: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/techniques/coffee-grounds-composting. Kristin uses coffee grounds, she puts about a quarter inch layer over the top. She is not a big fan of working anything into the soil anymore. Too much work, and since the coffee grounds are an organic they will naturally sink into the ground. Kristin’s approach won't work well with drip irrigation. Herbs – The claim: Keep mosquitoes at bay by planting an array of herbs around your garden. Citronella geranium, marigold, lemongrass, catnip, ageratum and lemon thyme are natural mosquito deterrents. Herbs – My research: Again, lots of websites talk about what plants will repel mosquitoes. But personally, citronella has never really worked for me so I don’t put any stock in this. I think it would be better to provide the UC pest notes on mosquito management: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7451.html Horticulture continued next page

Horticulture continued

Eggshells – The claim: Eggshells have a myriad of uses in the garden. Place medium-sized crumbles around your

plants to prevent attacks from slugs and snails. Or, use it as a natural fertilizer. Sprinkle powdered shells around

the garden to improve calcium content. Just be sure to wash the eggshells out first, lest you attract other pests

like rodents.

Eggshells – My research: Lots of ideas from lots of sites about using eggshells, but none of them include any sci-

entific-based research. I thought the eggshells could possibly be valuable, until I saw this on

the gardenmyths.com site: https://www.gardenmyths.com/eggshells-not-use-garden/. This site does not recom-

mend eggshells in composting, but they can be composted. For home composting, they should be crushed up,

crushing does not matter for the garbage company’s compost bin.

Vinegar – The claim: For weed control, try your hand at this vinegar mixture: one bottle of vinegar, one cup of salt, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and two tablespoons of dish soap. Spray carefully on the weeds, avoiding the grass or soil around them. Vinegar – My research: I didn’t have a lot of faith in this potential remedy, until I saw that gardenmyths.com tested it and has pictures: https://www.gardenmyths.com/vinegar-weed-killer-myth-revisited/ But Kristin has found that vinegar only kills the tops of the weeds, and if their roots can re sprout it doesn't work. She has been quite successful between her bricks of her potting area with baking soda. Kristin works it into the cracks and it stops the weeds from coming up through the cracks for about 2 years. This is a messy job, but it works. Hydrogen Peroxide – The claim: Hydrogen peroxide can prevent fungal diseases without harming plants. As an added bonus, it also aids in sprouting new plants. Use it as often as you water the plants in a well-diluted solution at 1:35 water to hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide – My research: Hydrogen peroxide is recommended in a couple of Master Gardener blogs and it has been approved by the USDA for use in organic crop production. Even the hydrogen peroxide company recommends using it in the garden: https://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/gardening-with-hydrogen-peroxide.html. Kristin has never tried this for fungus or damping off and is intrigued by the idea that it would help getting seeds to sprout.

BOOKWORMS

An in-person meeting is unlikely to occur on May 20 due to the local Health Order. The book we

planned to discuss is The Food Explorer—True Adventures of Globe Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What

America Eats by Daniel Stone. The book is available in paperback and Kindle. It is a history of U.S. agriculture,

botanical espionage, and the age of food explorers who brought to the U.S. plants such as kale, broccoli, avocados,

Meyer lemons, dates, German hops, Japanese rice, and cherry blossom trees.

By May 20th, please submit to the Chair your specific recommendations of books – non-fiction and fiction books

which have a gardening/nature theme—for our reading list for the upcoming year. A summary of all the

recommendations will then be compiled and distributed for members’ review.

Nancy Balles, Bookworms Chair

If you or someone you know in the club is experiencing a health issue, a family crisis or is in need of cheering up,

please give that information to Julie Grisham, our Corresponding Secretary. We will attempt to help in whatever

way we can to ease the burden. Being a member of DAGC means you are not alone. We are here to help. Julie can

be reached by phone or email. Thank you!

Julie Grisham, Chair

Membership

Our Membership Renewal Drive began in March at the same time the ‘shelter in place order’

took effect. With the need to cancel March and April meetings our garden club and, more

importantly, our daily lives changed significantly.

This article is being written on April 15th so there are two weeks remaining before the

Renewal Drive ends and wait-list friends are invited and added to our roster. Will our

membership total reach 150 as in past years? That information will be available in June’s

Flower Pot article. What is evident in the many Renewal Forms we’ve received so far has been the overwhelming

support for the future of our garden club. Many volunteered for several special committee positions and added

enthusiastic sentiments; “I’m willing to assist anywhere help is needed!”

What can be said overall to define our membership stems from the lessons we’ve learned in our gardens. Like the

dandelions that persevere and flourish amid the most challenging of conditions, we are also resilient. We’ll get past

Covid-19 and our garden club will continue to thrive.

Community Outreach

No one should go hungry during the COVID-19 pandemic. With school closures, job disruptions, and health risks, millions of Americans have turned to food banks for much-needed support. Food banks are reporting a 40% increase in demand, as they see a flood of new clients. Disruptions of their usual supply chains have resulted in dwindling donations. This is forcing the Food Bank to purchase supplies from food manufacturers and distributors.

Here’s How You Can Help

Consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Contra Costa Solano Food Bank. This is the most effective way for us to support our county Food Bank. Your donation will enable The Food Bank to purchase supplies from wholesalers at a discount. You can donate online or by mail.

PLANT EXCHANGE

"All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so"

Joseph Joubert, 1754-1824, was a French leading thinker who wrote down his thoughts for more than 40 years. He was considered a writer of the highest rank. We think of our gardens to make us happy because of the beauty they bring to us. Roses are bursting into color, leaves on trees are coming out looking so healthy, the sky is as blue as can be. Enjoy this time of year, have much happiness in your garden.

GOURMET GARDENING WITH SCENTED GERANIUMS

Scented geraniums (really pelargoniums) are delightful plants, enjoyed in the garden and in the home. They have been used for centuries in cooking and in cosmetics. There is quite a variety of fragrances, leaf shapes and colors. While they do produce flowers, they are not grown for blooms, but for their fragrance. (The flowers are quite pretty, but small).

These plants are natives of South Africa and they thrive in our dry Mediterranean climate. They withstand drought, heat and even frosts. I have found that many thrive in full sun but all do well in mixture of sun and shade, and peppermint geranium really must have shade in the hottest part of the day or it wilts (as I do in hot weather!) Peppermint geranium is one of my favorites because of it wonderful minty scent and its large soft leaf. It is quite striking in floral arrangements.

CULTIVATION

For the best growth, plant them in 6 hours of sun with some afternoon shade if possible. Water them deeply and infrequently and fertilize them with a complete fertilizer 2 or 3 times during the growing season if planted in the ground, or once a month if planted in pots. Prune them heavily by 50% or more in mid-autumn to stimulate new growth lower on the stems. Lightly prune occasionally through the growing season to improve side branching. To propagate, simply take cuttings from the stems. Cut diagonally below bottom node and remove all leaves but the top two or three. I root them in ordinary potting soil in a shady place and keep them moist until rooted. At the first signs of new growth, move into the sunlight. If used as houseplants, bathe them once every 4 to 6 weeks in a pail of tepid, sudsy water to rid them of any insects.

Use and Enjoy!

Scented geraniums are not noted for their flowers but are cherished for their fragrant leaves which are wonderful to use in sachets and potpourris. Keep a scented geranium in a sunny window where it will serve as a natural room deodorizer. Add them to floral arrangements for their interesting textures and leaf shapes. As a culinary plant, scented geraniums are used in many ways: salad dressings, jellies, jams, syrups, cakes, custards and teas. Steep half a tablespoon of dried leaves or 1 Tbl. of fresh in one cup hot water. Drink or use as a hair rinse after shampooing. I use rose for this.

ROSE GERANIUM RECIPES

Rose Geranium Cake

In bottom of greased and floured cake pan, place 5 large rose geranium leaves and then pour in your favorite white cake batter or you can use a boxed cake mix batter. To increase the rose flavor, steep a few leaves for 10 minutes in the recipe's liquid which has been heated. Let this come to room temperature before adding to cake mix. Frost cake with a buttercream frosting and decorate with crystallized roses and rose geranium leaves.

Crystallized Roses & Leaves

Select fresh dry leaves and lightly coat, using your finger, both sides of the leaves with a little lightly beaten egg white. sprinkle leaves evenly on both sides with table sugar, give a little shake and place leaf on a plate and place in the refrigerator for a few days until dry. Rose petals are done in the same manner. White or pastel roses are best suited for crystallizing.

Rose Geranium Jelly

Make an infusion of 1 Cup packed fresh rose geranium leaves with 2 Cups boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes.

Strain liquid from leaves, adding water to make 2 Cups if necessary. Combine this liquid with 1 Cup white vinegar

and 6 and 1/2 Cups white sugar. Bring to a boil. Add 6 oz liquid Certo. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil and boil

hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Pour at once into hot sterilized jars

and seal . ( Recipes Cont next page )

Recipes cont.

Scented Geranium Salad Dressing

Put 4 leaves apple geranium, 2 leaves rose geranium, 3 leaves lemon geranium, 1 small mint geranium leaf in blender with 3 Tablespoons white wine vinegar and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Blend completely. Add 1/2 Cup olive oil in a slow stream while blender is running on slow speed. Store in refrigerator and shake before using. Use on a leaf lettuce with fresh fruit.

Rose Geranium Syrup

This syrup is lovely to use on fresh fruit compotes, cakes, ice cream, pancakes or in teas. Place 2 and 1/2 cups water and 2 cups sugar in saucepan: stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 handfuls of rose geranium leaves, cover and steep 10 minutes. Strain syrup into a clean pan and boil for 1 minutes or until "syrupy". Remove from heat. If desired add few drops of red coloring and pour into sterilized jars.

Keeps 6-9 months in refrigerator.

Rebecca Byrom, Program Vice President

Project Produce

RECORD UNEMPLOYMENT IS A FOOD CRISIS. With record unemployment increasing requests for food assistance, drive-thru distribution centers have been set up. Rationing supplies is the worst case scenario that food emergency responder organizations are trying to avoid. DAGC members may provide support by mailing checks to:

Thank you and stay safe. Helen Miller, Chair

Starting this fall, we will form a “Gardening Foodies Group” for our members to study and explore such topics as

organic farming, unique cooking methods, eating locally, winemaking, healthy eating, and biodiversity. This will be a

great way to blend your gardening skills with your culinary skills and share our cooking skills.

Activities will include visiting farmer’s markets, supermarket produce departments, organic farms, food shows,

community gardens, and wineries. We will plan luncheons at restaurants that utilize organically grown produce and

our members will host demonstrations of cooking methods.

We plan to meet every other month, so if you have an interest in joining us or have a recommendation for a trip,

luncheon, cooking class, or culinary book, please let me know.
